Overall a mediocre game with a lot of interesting ideas that were sadly executed poorly and hastily. I think the Citizen E cutscenes weren't different enough from the regular ones and overall the main plot ended up feeling rushed and confusing at times as to what it was trying to achieve. Gameplay was overall basic and while the stealth AI wasn't as annoyingly broken as it was in 3, the game overall still didn't offer much to make it stand out in any way. The personas mechanic is pretty interesting, but I think that using the assassin persona whenever you can was better as the other two felt like dumbing yourself down with worse arsenals or freerunning for the sake of easier stealth (which doesn't matter as much cus stealth is pretty easy as an assassin anyways). It very much feels like a filler type of spinoff that publishers throw in while people wait for the next big title. You can skip it if you want. I gotta say tho, the game's most interesting parts were the Tomb Raider-esque segments and I think the gameplay was a lot more interesting and unique during those parts. They are probably the most memorable segments in the whole game for me.
